When reading Kamel Daoud's work, Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe emerges as a major reference point for understanding solitude, exile and survival. Beyond its narrative value, this classic of English literature has generated the concept of the robinsonnade, which cuts across literary, sociological and cultural fields. In this study, the concept of robinsonnade is mobilized as an analytical tool to interrogate the mechanisms of Kamel Daoud's literary recognition and the processes by which his work is inserted into the French literary and intellectual circle and, more broadly, into a global frame of reference. It also offers a prism for examining the way in which the author dialogues with the classical heritage, reinvents and subverts it, while asserting his singularity. Through this approach, we will show how the author dialogues with the classical heritage, reinvents and subverts it, while asserting his auctorial posture in the French and Western literary panorama.
